There's comfort In an open grate,
Irradiant and mellow,
Each fagot glowingiy elate
And talking to its fellow,
And old dim phantoms of desire
Fanning new visions in the fire.
For there, in crimsoned dreams, I see
The magic mist that hovers
Over the moonlit ecstasy
Of shy abstracted lovers.
Reading in one another's eves
New mysteries obscure and wise.
Within its warm encircling glow
The children's bedtime story
Weaves in the firelight, to and fro,
Soft jflooms and fading glory,

The auditorium of the First
Baptist church was packed to its

Professor T, S. Roberts, Salem's
'l own dean of organists, formally
dedicated the Mrs. Thomas Kay

ill.Company of Portland.
The entire excellent, program
was : one of" amazing variety and
? exhibited faithfully the many pos-
'siblli ties of the Instrument.
.V The statellness of the whole
i mechanism was expressed to the
audience in Wagner's immortal
"Eifgftns! Chorus" (Tannhauser.)
Then followed a contrasting
number. Buck's llfht, lilting

was followed by a very, modern
number, Vibbard's "Indian Seren

Roberts played publicly in Salem
on Friday for the first time. The
weird strains of the piece were
brought out with commendable
skill, not by the use of any sing

The Largo from the "N e w

which the famous words of "Goln

It is playing like that of Profes

it easy to understand why the pipe

struments, ' has been called the
"one man symphony."

Resume of Work of Edward
MacDowell Association is
Enlightening to Public
Genius is essentially vision, and
we can pay no better tribute to the
memory of a genius than to carry
out the ideals his vision inspired.
It was to carry out the ideals ard
dream of Edward MacDowell that
funds have been subscribed to car
ry on and bui'up the MacDowell
colony at Peterborough, where
creative artists may go for their
work and feel the inspiration and
peacefulness so enjoyed by Mac
Dowell. In 1895 MacDowell purchased
an old farm. In the deep wnoda,
about ten minutes froia the little
farm house he built a log cabin.
There &e did much of his best
work, and there he liked to dream
of a day when other artists could
work this is the dream that has
come true During the last year
of MacDowell's life, a society was
incorporated under the name of
"The Edward MacDowell Memor
ial Association."
The purpose of the society was
to establish in America a fitting
memorial to the work and life of
the American composer along the
lines of MacDowell's own sugges
tion. Mrs. MacDowell deeded the
Association the farm at Peterbor
ough and the contents of the Mac
Dowell home, and before MacDow
ell's death a colony for Creative
Artists had been established.
There is nothing camp-like about
the place either in appearance or
in manner of life. There are com
fortable and convenient living
quarters for the men and women;
a common dining room in Colony
Hall, where wholesome food is
served and in the living room en
joyable evenings are spent by all
who wish to remain. The most
important side of the colony pro
bably Is the individual studios,
scattered here and there through
the woods out of sound and sight
of the others. AH of the studios
have open fireplaces and pleasant
verandahs and are simply aad ar
tistically furnished. In order that
the working day may be long and
uninterrupted, at noon a basket
lunch Is left at each studio.
Starting with MacDowell's home
his log cabin and two hundred
acres of land the Colony has now
fire hundred acres including for
est and a farm in good cultivation,
well equipped farm buildings, stu
dio buildings to accommodate be
tween twenty-five and thirty ar
tists, several dwelling buildings,
a library, a swimming pool, a sup-i
erb open air theater for out of
door festivals of muslo and drama.
Tha Colony is now called "The
Edward. MacDowell Association,
Inc." and since the death of Mac
Dowell, January 23rd, 1908, his
widow ha untiringly worked to
accomplish what - has been' done
in the past years. Besides subscrip
tion given the Association, Mrs.
MacDowell has toured each year
through great difficulty, giving
Mrs. B. L. Steeves Writes
Book Worthy of a Place on
Every Bookshelf
A book, containing pages of
priceless pioneer lore, Mrs. B. L.
Steeves' "Book of Remembrance,"
is Just off the press and la weu
worthy of a place on the bookshelf
of every home. The holiday sea
son affords the ideal time to make
this valuable addition to the fam
ily library; it also affords oppor
tunity to give a gut mat is oounu
to be appreciated.
The fact that Sarah Hunt
Steeves,- as the author signs her
self, is the one responsible for
this interesting pioneer book, wilt
teoif cndor the volume to
.u "'"l
manv.
The material is such that it has
neveT before been presented to the
nubile. Mrs. Steeves has gleaned
it herself, without aid.
For dramatic history that Is at
once unrivaled for its authentic
ity and intimate presentation of
Marlon County pioneer life, "The
Book of Remembrance" is a de
light.
The perils of pioneer life; the
vivid, picturesque Incidents that
live often in the mind, but less
frequently on the printed page
abound in this worthwhile volume
of 360 pages, printed on heavy
paper and artistically bound.
Such family names as Griffith,
RIgdon, Looney, Pringle, Byrd,
Savage, Hunt, Downing, Herron,
Kinsey, Towsend, Glover, Benson
Strang, Denny, Condit, Shaw
Jones, and Wade become the per
sonification of stirring romance
and adventure in Mrs. Steevep
pages of "Remembrance."
The book is on sale at the local
book shops and at the .home of the
